The karyotypes of nine strains including three transformants of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and cytology using a fluorescence microscope. Cytology of the mitotic metaphase showed n = 9 for both standard strain EP155 and field strain GH2 infected by Cryphonectria hypovirus 3. Chromosomes were morphologically characterized by size, heterochromatic segment, and constriction. PFGE resolved 5 or 6 chromosomal DNA bands ranging from 3.3 Mbp to 9.7 Mbp, but accurate determination of the chromosome number was hampered by clumping of some bands. Banding profiles in PFGE were similar among the strains except for GH2, in which a chromosome translocation was detected by Southern blot analysis. By integrating the data from cytology and PFGE, the genome size of C. parasitica was estimated to be ca. 50 Mbp. This is the first report of a cytological karyotype in the order Diaporthales.  相似文献

Anthracnose of lentil, caused by Colletotrichum truncatum is a serious threat to lentil (Lens culinaris) grown in western Canada. The teleomorph stage of this pathogen was induced to form under laboratory conditions. Random pairing of single conidium isolates enabled the identification of fertile isolates. The individual isolates of this fertile pair were crossed with 14 other isolates, and all isolates were also incubated alone. Self-sterility was observed for all 16 isolates tested. Three isolates did not produce perithecia with either tester isolate, and none of the isolates tested produced perithecia with both tester isolates. Perithecia were brown–black, superficial, solitary or in small groups, obpyriform to ovate or ampulliform, 200–520 × 110–320 μm (mean: 350 × 200 μm). Asci were cylindrical, narrowing slightly at the apex, unitunicate, evanescent, 53–142 × 5–14 μm (mean: 90 × 8 μm), and contained eight ascospores. Ascospores were hyaline, aseptate, oblong, 12–20 × 5–8 μm (mean: 15.7–6.7 μm). The characteristics agree with those described for the genus Glomerella, and the species was named G. truncata sp. nov. The morphology of the new species is compared with that of other species in the genus, and future research on G. truncata is described.  相似文献

Intact chromosomes of 19 clinical isolates of Histoplasma capsulatum recently obtained in Argentina, Mexico and Guatemala and the laboratory reference strain G186B from Panama were analyzed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Chromosomal banding patterns of the human isolates revealed 5-7 bands, ranging from 1.3 to 10 Mbp in size. Strain G186B showed five bands of approximately 1.1, 2.8, 3.3, 5.4 and 9.7 Mbp. Thirteen different electrokaryotypes were identified, indicating that the genome of H. capsulatum varies widely in nature, as observed previously in laboratory strains. No definite association was found between electrokaryotype and geographical or clinical source.  相似文献

Out of some isolated Heterorhabditis bacteriophora from Korea, ecological study on two isolates which had different geographical features was investigated. That is, effects of temperature and dose on the pathogenicity and reproduction of two Korean isolates of H. bacteriophora were investigated using Galleria mellonella larvae in the laboratory. The median lethal dose (LD50) decreased with increasing temperature, but increased at 35 °C. The optimal temperatures for infection were 30 °C for H. bacteriophora Jeju strain and 24 °C for H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain. The median lethal time, LT50 of H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain was recorded at 13 °C to 35 °C and that of H. bacteriophora Jeju strain was recorded at 18 °C to 30 °C. The number of established nematodes in G. mellonella larvae was significantly different depending on temperature and dose. When G. mellonella larvae were exposed to 300 infective juveniles (IJs), mortality of G. mellonella gradually increased with exposure time with H. bacteriophora Jeju strain but not with H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain. 87.5% mortality of G. mellonella was recorded by H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain after 1440 min whereas 100% mortality was recorded by H. bacteriophora Jeju strain after 4320 min. The time from infection to the first emergence of nematodes decreased with increasing temperature. Duration of emergence of the two strains in the White traps also decreased with increasing temperature. The highest progeny numbers of H. bacteriophora Jeju strain were 264,602 while those of H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain were 275,744 at the rate of 160 IJs at 24 °C.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the genetic relationships of Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolated from pigs, cattle, pork, beef, humans and water samples using REP, ISR and BOXAIR PCR analysis. A total of 94 isolates were subjected to the REP-PCR analysis while 95 were screened for ISR and BOXAIR PCR fingerprints. The band sizes for amplicons from the ISR-PCR analysis ranged from 0.173 kb to 0.878 kb. However, a large proportion of the isolates had four bands ranging from 0.447 kb to 0.878 kb. Cluster analysis of the BOXAIR PCR profiles based on banding patterns revealed seven main clusters. It was identified in the clusters III, IV and VII in the BOXAIR PCR that 17.9%, 16.8% and 18.9%, of E. coli O157:H7 isolates respectively were present from all the animal species, meat and water samples. REP-PCR analysis produced 9 different patterns with bands ranging from 0 to 12 per isolate. The band sizes ranged from 200 bp to 8000 bp. Nine major clusters (I–IX) were identified. From the three different species sampled cluster eight was the largest and a mixed cluster with 23.4% (22/94) of the E. coli O157:H7 isolates. These indicate that food products obtained from supermarkets in the study area are contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.  相似文献

Flow cytometry analysis showed variation of nuclear DNA content among different species of Spartina. Spartina alterniflora had the biggest genome (1763.9 Mbp) and S. cynosuroides had the smallest genome (756.35 Mbp), whereas the genomes of S. patens (969.36 Mbp) and S. spartinae (979.78 Mbp) were comparable. Mining simple sequence repeats (SSR) from 1227 expressed sequence tags (EST) generated from salt stressed S. alterniflora showed an abundance of di- and tri-nucleotide repeats. Of 100 ESSR (EST-derived SSR) loci with five or more repeats, 81 loci were successfully amplified in eight S. alterniflora genotypes and 15 (22.2%) ESSR markers were polymorphic. Eleven of the 15 polymorphic ESSRs showed amplification across six different species of Spartina while 100% cross transferability was observed with at least one species of Spartina. The average number of alleles per marker was 3.9 and 5.8 within S. alterniflora and among Spartina species, respectively. The ESSR markers discriminated different members within and between species of Spartina genus.  相似文献

To characterize the extent and diversity of moxifloxacin resistance among Clostridium difficile isolates recovered during a predominantly Anaerobe Reference Unit (ARU) ribotype 027-associated nosocomial outbreak of antibiotic associated diarrhea we measured the susceptibility of 34 field isolates and 6 laboratory strains of C. difficile to moxifloxacin. We ribotyped the isolates as well as assaying them by PCR for the metabolic gene, gdh, and the virulence genes, tcdA, tcdB, tcdC, cdtA and cdtB. All the laboratory isolates, including the historical ARU 027 isolate Cd196, were susceptible to moxifloxacin (≤2 μg/mL). 13 field isolates were susceptible to ≤2 μg/mL. Five were resistant to from 4 to 12 μg/mL (moderate resistance); 16 were resistant to ≥16 μg/mL (high resistance). We sequenced the quinolone resistance determining regions of gyrA (position 71-460) and gyrB (position 1059-1448) from two susceptible laboratory strains, all five isolates with moderate resistance and two highly resistant isolates. Two highly resistant isolates (Pitt 40, ribotype ARU 027 and Pitt 33, ribotype ARU 001) had the same C245T (Thr82ΔIle) mutation. No other changes were seen. Amplification with primer pairs specific for the C245T mutant gyrA and for the wild type gene respectively confirmed all 16 highly resistant ARU 027 isolates, as well as the highly resistant isolates from other ribotypes, had the C245T mutation and that the mutation was absent from all other isolates. Among the five isolates with moderate resistance we found combinations of mutations within gyrA (T128A, Val43ΔAsp and G349T, Ala117ΔSer) and gyrB (G1276A, Arg426ΔAsn). The G1396A (Glu466ΔLys) mutation was not associated with increased resistance.  相似文献

Three tortricid pests, Grapholita dimorpha (Komai), G. molesta (Busck), and Carposina sasakii (Matsumura), are known as internal apple feeders in Korea. To identify young larvae, this study developed two types of molecular markers from their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. To this end, six different loci of mtDNA were sequenced in G. dimorpha: cytochrome oxidase subunit I (460 bp), cytochrome oxidase subunit II (446 bp), cytochrome b (308 bp), NADH dehydrogenase 3 (585 bp), NADH dehydrogenase 4 (ND4, 835 bp), and 16S rRNA (1300 bp). These sequences were compared with those of G. molesta and C. sasakii in order to develop PCR–RFLP and diagnostic primers. ND4 locus was selected to be used for developing a PCR–RFLP marker. ND4-Swa I digests showed two bands for G. dimorpha, one band for G. molesta, and three bands for C. sasakii. On the other hand, species-specific diagnostic PCR primers were developed using ND4 locus. These markers were then applied to diagnose larvae infesting apples to determine species-specific fruit damage patterns, in which G. dimorpha, G. molesta, and C. sasakii showed different feeding behaviors in terms of their main feeding sites in apple fruits.  相似文献

Genome size estimates and their evolution can be useful for studying the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of a particular group. In the present study, the genome sizes of the three species that comprise the Mycetophylax genus were estimated by flow cytometry (FCM). There was little variation in genome size among them. The mean haploid genome size value of male and female individuals of Mycetophylax morschi was 312.96 Mbp (0.32 pg) and that of Mycetophylax conformis and Mycetophylax simplex females were 312.96 Mbp (0.32 pg) and 381.42 Mbp (0.39 pg), respectively. At first glance, this variation could be related with the heterochromatin content. Our results, together with other previous reports, have contributed to our knowledge about Attini genome size and will be useful to improve the understanding of the evolution of this tribe. It will help select potential model species in Attini for future genomic and sequencing projects.  相似文献

A genetic map was constructed previously from a cross between Magnaporthe oryzae isolates 84R-62B and Y93-245c-2, and genetic markers closely linked to the cultivar-specific avirulence (Avr) gene, AvrPik, were assigned to a 1.6 Mb small chromosome of 84R-62B that is absent from Y93-245c-2. In the present study, the 1.6 Mb chromosome was characterized by using contour-clamped homogeneous electric fields (CHEF) electrophoresis and hybridization analysis. CHEF electrophoresis analysis showed that the 1.6 Mb chromosome was inherited in Mendelian fashion, and co-segregated with AvrPik. Southern hybridization analysis revealed that the 1.6 Mb chromosome carried sequences only distributed to the supernumerary chromosome in M. oryzae isolates, as well as sequences corresponding to those in the supercontig 17 of chromosome 1 in the M. grisea database. Thus, we conclude that the Mendelian 1.6 Mb chromosome is a chimera containing sequences from chromosome 1 and from supernumerary chromosomes in M. oryzae.  相似文献

Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc.) is an important pest of solanaceous crops and a vector of the pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter psyllaurous. Biocontrol of this pest has been attempted with either entomopathogenic fungi or the parasitoid Tamarixia triozae (Burks), but prior to this study, their potential impact in combination had not been studied. The aim of the present study was to evaluate T. triozae parasitism rates on B. cockerelli nymphs that were previously infected for different periods of time by three isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. Two native isolates (BB40 and BB42) and one commercial isolate (GHA) were used. The virulence of these isolates was first estimated against B. cockerelli and T. triozae. LC50 values for the native isolates BB40 and BB42 against B. cockerelli were 9.5 × 105 and 2.42 × 106 conidia mL−1 respectively; they were significantly more virulent than isolate GHA with an LC50 of 1.97 × 107 conidia mL−1. However, isolate GHA was significantly more virulent against T. triozae with an LC50 of 1.11 × 107 conidia mL−1 compared with LC50s of 1.49 × 107 and 1.14 × 108 conidia mL−1 for the native isolates BB40 and BB42 respectively. Groups of nymphs were then inoculated with LC20, LC50 or LC90 concentrations of each isolate and presented to T. triozae as hosts either on the day of inoculation or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 days after inoculation. Subsequent levels of parasitism were recorded. Overall, parasitism rates were similar in inoculated and control nymphs. No parasitism occurred in nymphs 6 days after fungal inoculation. Parasitoids used to parasitize uninoculated B. cockerelli nymphs survived significantly longer (7.8 days) than parasitoids that had been used to parasitize fungus-inoculated nymphs (7.3 days). This suggests an inability of the parasitoid to avoid infection when foraging on inoculated nymphs. In conclusion, although the parasitism rate in control and fungus-treated nymphs was similar, suggesting a combination of both biological control agents is possible, we believe there are also negative implications for the parasitoid because its survival was greatly reduced after attacking infected nymphs.  相似文献

We report in this work the preparation and in vitro antimicrobial evaluation of novel amphiphilic aromatic amino alcohols synthesized by reductive amination of 4-alkyloxybenzaldehyde with 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol. The antibacterial activity was determined against four standard strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and 21 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The antifungal activity was evaluated against four yeast (Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata and Candida parapsilosis). The results obtained showed a strong positive correlation between the lipophilicity and the antibiotic activity of the tested compounds. The best activities were obtained against the Gram-positive bacteria (MIC = 2–16 μg ml?1) for the five compounds bearing longer alkyl chains (4cg; 8–14 carbons), which were also the most active against Candida (MIC = 2–64 μg ml?1). Compound 4e exhibited the highest levels of inhibitory activity (MIC = 2–16 μg ml?1) against clinical isolates of MRSA. A concentration of twice the MIC resulted in bactericidal activity of 4d against 19 of the 21 clinical isolates.  相似文献

The light-harvesting 1 reaction center (LH1-RC) complex from Thermochromatium (Tch.) tepidum exhibits unusual Qy absorption by LH1 bacteriochlorophyll-a (BChl-a) molecules at 915 nm, and the transition energy is finely modulated by the binding of metal cations to the LH1 polypeptides. Here, we demonstrate the metal-dependent interactions between BChl-a and the polypeptides within the intact LH1-RC complexes by near-infrared Raman spectroscopy. The wild-type LH1-RC (B915) exhibited Raman bands for the C3-acetyl and C13-keto CO stretching modes at 1637 and 1675 cm? 1, respectively. The corresponding bands appeared at 1643 and 1673 cm? 1 when Ca2 + was biosynthetically replaced with Sr2 + (B888) or at 1647 and 1669 cm? 1 in the mesophilic counterpart, Allochromatium vinosum. These results indicate the significant difference in the BChl–polypeptide interactions between B915 and B888 and between B915 and the mesophilic counterpart. The removal of the original metal cations from B915 and B888 resulted in marked band shifts of the C3-acetyl/C13-carbonyl νCO modes to ~ 1645/~ 1670 cm? 1, supporting a model in which the metal cations are involved in the fine-tuning of the hydrogen bonding between the BChl-a and LH1-polypeptides. Interestingly, the interaction modes were almost identical between the Ca2 +-depleted B915 and Sr2 +-depleted B888 and between B915 and Ca2 +-substituted B888, despite the significant differences in their LH1 Qy peak positions and the denaturing temperatures, as revealed by differential scanning calorimetry. These results suggest that not only the BChl–polypeptide interactions but some structural origin may be involved in the unusual Qy red-shift and the enhanced thermal stability of the LH1-RC complexes from Tch. tepidum.  相似文献

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the EtOAc extract of the root of Erythrina addisoniae (Leguminosae) resulted in the isolation of four new (14), along with 2 known prenylated isoflavonoids (56). The structures of the isolates were assigned on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis, focusing on interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR, and MS data. All the isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), as well as their growth inhibition on MCF7, adriamycin-resistant MCF7 (MCF7/ADR), and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Compounds which exhibited PTP1B inhibitory activity (IC50 values ranging from 4.6 ± 0.3 to 24.2 ± 2.1 μM) showed potential cytotoxic activity (IC50 values ranging from 3.97 ± 0.17 to 11.4 ± 1.9 μM). Taken together, our data suggest that prenylated isoflavonoids, especially the isoflavone-type skeleton could be considered as new lead compounds against breast cancer via PTP1B inhibition.  相似文献

Acinetobacter baumannii infections are difficult to treat due to multidrug resistance. Biofilm formation by A. baumannii is an additional factor in its ability to resist antimicrobial therapy. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and its fragments KS-30, KR-20 and KR-12 against clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii were evaluated. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of LL-37 against MDR A. baumannii isolates ranged from 16 to 32 μg/mL. The MIC of KS-30 fragment varied from 8.0 to16 μg/mL and the KR-20 fragment MIC ranged from 16 to 64 μg/mL. LL-37 and KS-30 fragment exhibited 100% bactericidal activity against five A. baumannii strains, including four MDR clinical isolates, within 30 min at concentrations of 0.25–1 μg/mL. By 0.5 h, the fragments KR-20 and KR-12 eliminated all tested strains at 8 and 64 μg/mL respectively. LL-37 and its fragments displayed anti-adherence activities between 32-128 μg/mL. A minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) biofilm assay demonstrated that LL-37 inhibited and dispersed A. baumannii biofilms at 32 μg/mL respectively. Truncated fragments of LL-37 inhibited biofilms at concentrations of 64–128 μg/mL. KS-30, the truncated variant of LL-37, effectively dispersed biofilms at 64 μg/mL. At 24 h, no detectable toxicity was observed at the efficacious doses when cytotoxicity assays were performed. Thus, LL-37, KS-30 and KR-20 exhibit significant antimicrobial activity against MDR A. baumannii. The prevention of biofilm formation in vitro by LL-37, KS-30 and KR-20 adds significance to their efficacy. These peptides can be potential therapeutics against MDR A. baumannii infections.  相似文献

The diversity and metal tolerance of endophytic fungi from six dominant plant species in a Pb–Zn mine wasteland in Yunnan, China were investigated. Four hundred and ninety-five endophytic fungi were isolated from 690 tissue segments. The endophytic fungal colonization extent and isolation extent ranged from 59 % to 75 %, and 0.42–0.93, respectively, and a positive correlation was detected between them. Stems harboured more endophytic fungi than leaves in each plant species, and the average colonization extent of stems was 82 %, being significantly higher than that of leaves (47 %) (P  0.001, chi-square test). The fungi were identified to 20 taxa in which Phoma, Alternaria and Peyronellaea were the dominant genera and the relative frequencies of them were 39.6 %, 19.0 % and 20.4 %, respectively. Metal tolerance test showed that 3.6 mM Pb2+ or 11.5 mM Zn2+ exhibited the greatest toxicity to some isolates and they did not grow on the metal-amended media. In contrast, some isolates were growth stimulated in the presence of tested metals. The isolates of Phoma were more sensitive to Zn2+ than the isolates of Alternaria and Peyronellaea. However, the sensitivity of isolates to Pb2+ was not significantly different among Phoma, Alternaria, Peyronellaea and other taxa (P > 0.05, chi-square test). Our results suggested that fungal endophyte colonization in Pb–Zn polluted plants is moderately abundant and some isolates have a marked adaptation to Pb2+ and Zn2+ metals, which has a potential application in phytoremediation in this area.  相似文献

Intraspecific variability within 51 isolates of Pythium myriotylum from cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) and other host crops was analysed using optimum growth temperature, esterase banding patterns, AFLPs, rDNA–ITS sequencing, and virulence to cocoyam. P. myriotylum isolates virulent to cocoyam could easily be differentiated from other isolates of P. myriotylum by their optimum growth temperature. Isolates from cocoyam grew best at 28 °C with no growth at 37 °C, while P. myriotylum isolates from other host crops had their optimum growth temperature at 37 °C. Esterases produced consistent zymograms with 18 discrete esterase markers, but no monomorphic markers were produced for isolates virulent to cocoyam. Isozyme profiles based on esterase analysis showed that isolates that infect cocoyam plantlets formed a related group, irrespective of their geographic origin. P. myriotylum isolates from other host plants also grouped together, but could clearly be distinguished from the cocoyam cluster. AFLPs produced 189 scorable bands for the cocoyam isolates, of which 77 % are monomorphic. Phenetic analysis of AFLP data grouped all isolates originating from cocoyam together except for the isolates C103-04, CMR17, CMR22, and CMR25. These isolates regrouped with isolates of Pythium myriotylum from other host crops or the outgroup and were found not to be pathogenic for cocoyam. ITS sequences of isolates of P. myriotylum from cocoyam were 99.1–99.7 % identical to sequences deposited in GenBank. However, alignments of ITS sequences revealed a base transition at position 824 from adenine in typical isolates of P. myriotylum to guanine in isolates that could infect cocoyam plantlets. In a limited pathogenicity test, all isolates from cocoyam having guanine at position 824 were able to infect tissue culture derived cocoyam but not those exhibiting adenine. This study demonstrates for the first time, molecular evidence that isolates of P. myriotylum that infect cocoyam are distinct from P. myriotylum isolates from other crops and have developed a certain degree of host adaptation.  相似文献

BackgroundCandidiasis is one of the most important among recurrent invasive yeast infections in patients, thus antifungal treatment becomes a challenge.AimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of clinical Candida albicans isolates from blood cultures to fluconazole, amphotericin B and anidulafungin, in a hospital from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.MethodsThe susceptibility of 153 isolates to the 3 drugs mentioned was tested according to Clinical and Laboratory Standars Institute. Minimal inhibitory and fungicidal concentrations (MIC, MFC, respectively) of each drug were determined, as well as the epidemiological cutoff value (ECV).ResultsAll of the isolates were susceptible to anidulafungin, MIC and MFC  1 μg/ml; however, when compared with ECV, 3% of the isolates exhibited higher values against fluconazole, 96% were susceptible, 3% susceptible dose-dependent, and 1% resistant. Also, it was observed that 21% of the isolates exhibited higher values than ECV. One isolate was resistant to amphotericin B; the other ones, susceptible, based on the MFC; furthermore, 1.5% of the isolates exhibited higher values.ConclusionsC. albicans isolates exhibited more susceptibility to anidulafungin, and 90% of them (MIC90) exhibited the lowest values against amphotericin B. Based on ECV and Pfaller classification, isolates could be resistant to fluconazole, demonstrating the importance of the combination of these parameters.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of IL6, IL12B and VDR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax infection symptoms intensity, parasitemia and gametocytemia levels in a Brazilian Amazonian population.MethodsA total of 167 malaria patients infected by P. vivax have parasitemia and gametocytemia levels estimated before treatment. Fourteen clinical symptoms were evaluated and included in a principal component analysis to derive a clinical symptom index. Patients were genotyped for IL6-174C > G, IL12B 735T > C, 458A > G, 159A > C, and VDR FokI, TaqI, BsmI SNPs by Taqman 5’ nuclease assays. A General Linear Model analysis of covariance with age, gender, exposure period and infection history and genetic ancestry was performed to investigate the association of genotypes with parasitemia and gametocytemia levels and with a clinical symptom index.ResultsHigher parasitemia levels were observed in IL6-174C carriers (p = 0.02) whereas IL12B CGT haplotype carriers presented lower parasitemia levels (p = 0.008). VDR TaqIC/BsmIA haplotype carriers showed higher gametocyte levels than non-carriers (p = 0.013). Based on the clinical index values the IL6-174C > G polymorphism was associated with malaria severity. The IL6-174C carriers presented a more severe clinical index when compared to GG homozygotes (p = 0.001).ConclusionThe present study suggests that IL6, IL12 and VDR influence severity, parasitemia and gametocytemia clearance in P. vivax infections, and highlights their potential role in malaria immune response in an Amazonian population.  相似文献
